In front of Li Xiuning, Chai Shao could vent his grievances freely, but when he was with Fang Er, he returned to his usual state.
After all, he couldn't lose face in front of his son-in-law!
He limped to Fang Er's side and sat down. The moment his buttocks touched the chair, his face twisted slightly.
His buttocks were bruised in several places from being pinched, and any slight touch caused unbearable soreness.
That kind of sourness...
But I'm a father, I have to maintain composure!
Seeing Fang Er staring at him dazedly, Chai Shao immediately glared.
"What are you looking at!"
"Is it not okay for your father to be a little fat?"
Fang Er: ...
Got fat?
I'm convinced by this excuse!
However, seeing Chai Shao like this, Fang Er, to avoid awkwardness, couldn't ask what had happened and had to find an excuse to change the subject.
"Dad, when those aliens were captured by the natives of this world, you should have been the closest."
"Did you notice anything different about them compared to us?"
Wang Xuance had said that some of the previous "Bigge" people were captured while escaping the spaceship, while others were dragged out of the spaceship by the natives.
And Chai Shao was inside the spaceship at the time.
Hearing Fang Er mention the "Bigge" people, Chai Shao's expression immediately changed, and he waved his hands repeatedly.
"Wishtoday! I don't know... Don't ask me!"
"Pia!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiuning slapped him on the head.
"Your son-in-law is asking you, so answer honestly!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for locking you in the cold palace!"
Chai Shao couldn't help but shiver. Recalling what Li Xiuning had said before, even though he didn't want to bring up the past, he had no choice but to brace himself and tell everything he knew.
Half an hour later, Chai Yue brought the food. The family of four sat at the table, eating the first meal after their reunion.
After the meal, Chai Shao returned to his cabin to recuperate, while Li Xiuning waved at Fang Er.
"You go be busy, I'll talk to Yue'er."
Fang Er nodded and left. Mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a while, and moreover, Chai Yue had done such a thing, it was inevitable that Li Xiuning would worry about her.
What's more, the matter of the women's army generals had also been exposed this time.
The two of them indeed needed to have a good chat.
After leaving the spaceship, Fang Er returned to the Eternal Storm-class spaceship.
As soon as he boarded, he saw Lu Benwei welcoming him.
"Your Highness, it has been confirmed that the indigenous people are in a valley about five hundred kilometers away from here."
Saying that, he opened his phone and displayed the footage captured by the drone.
It was a narrow valley, about ten kilometers long, only five hundred meters at its narrowest point and three kilometers at its widest.
There were no buildings made of cement and steel in the valley. They were all treehouses built of wood, nestled among lush trees.
Innumerable humanoid creatures, entirely red and with tails, shuttled between the branches. Their movements were very agile, comparable to monkeys.
In the valley, besides these humanoid creatures, there were also some large birds, which looked similar to the Black Phoenix in the Wan Qu Realm. However, their feathers were mostly green, a bit like the legendary Qingluan.
Fang Er watched the footage as Lu Benwei reported the results of the investigation.
"Your Highness, it is estimated that tens of thousands of such creatures live in this valley."
"Based on their habits, after discussion, we believe it is more appropriate to call them Red-tailed People."
"These Red-tailed People live on wild fruits in the forest and have no ability to cultivate, or rather, they don't know what cultivation is."
"They have writing and language, so they should be considered a civilized race."
"The transparent clothes they wear are woven from the silk spun by a spider-like creature. They are waterproof, highly resistant to stretching, and are also insulating materials."
"Thunderstorms often occur in the valley. These Red-tailed People live in tall trees and are not affected by lightning. I believe this is due to this type of clothing."
"Furthermore, there are thousands of valleys like this within a radius of one hundred thousand kilometers!"
"The largest one is about eighty thousand kilometers away from us. It should be a rift valley caused by an earthquake, a hundred times the size of this valley. The Red-tailed People living there number at least one million."
"Also, the resources of this world are extremely rich. The number of animal species that can be seen is no less than a thousand, and the number of plants is countless."
"As for minerals, professional personnel need to be brought in to explore."
"The combat power of the Red-tailed People is generally average, but during the reconnaissance, it was discovered that some of them possess incredible abilities!"
Hearing this, Fang Er frowned: "What abilities?"
Lu Benwei continued, "Some of them seem to know legendary magic!"
"I personally saw a large injured bird fly into the valley. With the help of a few Red-tailed People, the bird's wounds healed completely in less than half an hour!"
"The bird had a wound over a meter long on its abdomen, torn by some animal. Without surgical stitches, those few Red-tailed People simply rubbed their hands over it, and the wound healed!"
This news made Fang Er find it hard to believe.
Magic!
This is unscientific...
Having traveled through so many parallel worlds and witnessed so many civilizations in Andromeda, he had never seen such a thing as magic!
"Notify everyone to get ready. We'll depart in half an hour."
"Let's go and meet these 'magical' Red-tailed People!"
Half an hour later, under Lu Benwei's guidance, three spore-class spacecraft rushed towards the valley five hundred kilometers away.
This distance was only a few minutes for the spore-class spacecraft.
When they reached their destination, Fang Er's cigarette was only half smoked.
The terrain was a valley flanked by two mountains. The valley was lush with dense vegetation and a gurgling stream.
The moment they stepped out of the cabin, everyone smelled the fragrant scent of flowers.
"What a unique landscape!"
Fang Er couldn't help but exclaim.
He considered himself well-traveled, but he had never seen such an environment before.
This made him even more curious about the Red-tailed People's magic.
Just then, he suddenly turned his head to the side.
In his divine sense, a group of Red-tailed People were moving rapidly towards them.
"Alert!"
He immediately drew his ion pistol and warned everyone with vigilance.
Lu Benwei, Wang Xuance, and the others also reacted quickly, forming a circle and protecting him in the center.
Soon, the Red-tailed People emerged from the dense forest. Upon seeing everyone, they were stunned and froze.
One of them stepped forward two paces and pointed at everyone, tentatively saying.
"Xiao Yan Zi, Chuan Hua Yi, Nian Nian Chun Tian, come here?"
